Chandradhar Sharma Guleri (7 July 1883 – 11 September 1922) was a writer and scholar of Hindi, Sanskrit, Prakrit and Pali from Jaipur, India. He was born in Jaipur and his father belongs to Guler village in Himachal Pradesh hence "Guleri" at the end of the name (as a tribute to his point of origin). Described as a versatile genius,[1] he is known as the author of Usne Kaha Tha (Hindi: उसने कहा था), first published in 1915, which is debated to be the first short story in Hindi.[2] He is also remembered for his efforts to preserve the Jantar Mantar Observatory in Jaipur.[3]

Pandit Guleri graduated from Allahabad University and later headed the Department of Sanskrit at Mayo College, Ajmer. In 1922, he was appointed to the Manindra Chandra Nandi Chair in Ancient History and Religion at Banaras Hindu University.[4]
The story Usne Kaha Tha was brought to the big screen in 1960 with the same name. Produced by Bimal Roy, the film starred Sunil Dutt and Nanda and directed by Moni Bhattacharjee.[2]
